Yes I did 'ypcat passwd' but the the few newly created users
were not there. One user was added a day before and even
his record was not there.

We tested adding a user today after the reboot yesterday,
and the new user immediately appeared on the NIS client.
I did not change any configurations, I just rebooted
the machine. It is difficult to try to figure what might
be the problem as I am not an ypbind expert... Is ypbind
using any caching (that might cause the bug)?

BR,
